13. Sonny Bono
Who would have thought that the trippy dude from the ’70s Sonny and Cher show actually had some intelligence under those sideburns? After he outgrew his singing duo career and marriage, Bono transformed his image and became mayor of Palm Springs, California (1988 to 1992) and the congressman for California’s 44th district (1995 to 1998). Sadly, he died in a skiing accident while still in office, but he remains the only congressman who had a number one pop song on Billboard’s Hot 100.
